As a motorsport fan, I was offended at Hamilton's initial presence in F1. As a principle, I don't think F1 teams should be sponsoring youngers drivers (under 22?), and definitely not making their path easier. How they get to F1 is a part of the process of being a hardened pro, imo. However...

I never acknowledged this fact. I think a season or two in an uncompetitive car before F1, would've helped him develop other qualities. I don't know, I think if he hadn't had it so easy early on in his career, he could've won in 2010. Passionate fans of his would have to be disappointed how he dropped form after winning in Belgium. The way that particular season turned out, he should've ran away with it from then on imo.
